 Capt. Mitchell of the Standard was here on businers last Thurs day. He reports the mill doing good work and the ore maintain ing its value.
 Jesse Keister, Miller and Gid dIng, old time prospectors of the Burro mountains, "paseared" here last week. Keister recently sold an interest in the Homestead mine.
 Miss Winnie Burt of Silver City was here on visit last week. Opium joints were raided here last week and three celestials whose; names are said to be One Lung, Two Lung and Gin Sling, were fined $50 and trimmings, from which judgment they ap- pealed to the district court. Judge Buck defended them.
 Several car loads of mining ma chlnery have been handled by our teams overland to the Carlisle dis trict consigned to J. P. Patterson at East camp.

 Dr. Lacy, whose social genialty has ma1e him a host of friends, left on the Sunday morning west bound train for California. It is rumored that he will bring back rib" and depart from the lonely paths of bachelordom, with its ever attending hopes and fears, vacations and vanities. There is not a shadow of a doubt but that he will be a model benedict and merit the full measure of happi- ness in store for him; at least that is the wish of his many friends.
 Mir. J. NJ. Hall, President of the Short Horn Cattle company of Luna, Socorro county, is here. He is expecting daily bunch of his short horns, which will be placed on the market at this place, the cattle being driven by the way of Alma and Carlisle.
 The secret service force of both the Southern Pacific and Wells Fargo & Co. are making a record that excites nothing but ridicule at this place. It may be said the same of the Sheriff of Cochise county, MT. Slaughter. One night last week Sheriff Slaughter and posse arrived here on a special train, an engine and box-car, on which were horses for himself and posse. It turned out that the party they were after, as the train robbers, were at the time and have been all along at Stein's Pass. At all events, after remaining here about twelve hours, he and his special railway conveyance went back to Stein's Pass and arrested the train robbers, O one of whom, Brooks, fifty men are ready to tes- tify was here at Lordsburg on the day of the robbery-and was here for a week before and after the crime. This is the character of Vidocquism employed to trail and run down the thieves. Think of it, trailing train robbers three weeks after the hold up" on the same railroad on a special train. Fine work!
 Quite a pleasant social gather ing took place at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. Harry Small last Thursday evening in honor of the joint visit of Misses Minnie Kel- lum and Winnie Burt. Conver- sation and terpsechore were in dulged Tn sufficient to pass the time enjoyably into the "wee sma' hours"
